“People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.”

“The miserable think that what they have is never enough. Like the Little Mermaid, who owned no more than twenty thingamabobs, they say, "But who cares, no big deal, I want MORE." (How could you be miserable with twenty thingamabobs?)”

“As we draw on the grace of God He increases voluntary poverty all along the line. Always give the best you have got every time; never think about who you are giving it to; let other people take it or leave it as they choose. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never reserve anything; never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives.”

“The Universal Laws of Health Care Systems:1. "No matter how good the health care in a particular country, people will complain about it"2. "No matter how much money is spent on health care, the doctors and hospitas will argue that it is not enough"3. "The last reform always failed”

“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.”

“I enjoy books as misers enjoy treasures, because I know I can enjoy them whenever I please.”
